Sleep training

I have been attempting to follow the no cry sleep solution book for sleep training my LO since he was about 4 months old. It seems like with age his sleeping habits are getting worse. He fights naps everyday and is now in the habit of taking two 30 min naps a day. We start his bedtime routine around 7:00 and he ends up not going to sleep until between 9:30 to 10:30.

We did Ferber when DS was 4 months. It was a nightmare to get him to nap every.single.time. I'm SAHM and I found myself bouncing/rocking him for an hour just to get him to nap for 20 minutes. We were both exhausted and miserable. &nbs

We tried lots of techniques and gadgets and not until we found the Merlin Sleepsuit did we have success. May not work for everyone, but has beenthe answer for us. We are up to 8 hr stretches at night and two great naps per day. We follow

Gotta recommend Ferber too. Worked like an absolute dream for both of my kids. Sounds like your little one used to be able to sleep so he may just need a little refresher course on how to soothe himself back to sleep. This was the case for my gir
